An image processor for executing an image-related process includes a portion for storing first usage situation information that indicates a usage situation of the image processor, a portion for obtaining second usage situation information that indicates a usage situation of a second image processor for executing the image-related process, a portion for determining a second image processor that can execute the image-related process more suitably than the image processor in accordance with the first usage situation information and the second usage situation information when an execution instruction of the image-related process is given by a user, a portion for controlling so that the execution of the image-related process is suspended in the image processor if it is determined that there is a second image processor that can execute the image-related process of the execution instruction more suitably than the image processor and that the image-related process is executed in the image processor if it is not determined that there is a second image processor that can execute the image-related process of the execution instruction more suitably than the image processor, a portion for delivering a message to the user who issued the execution instruction if it is determined that there is a second image processor that can execute the image-related process of the execution instruction more suitably than the image processor, the message indicating that it is better to execute the image-related process by the second image processor.
